They're effectively the same in most cases. "Modified" is usually used when referring to files or database records. "Updated" when referring to content (text, audio, video, etc). Flip a coin if you can't decide.
When was a website last updated?
Method 4 – Using Command URL
Open the webpage in a browser that you want to find the last updated date. Go to address bar and type the command “javascript:alert(document. lastModified)” at the end of the URL. Press enter to see a popup showing the last updated or modified date of that page.
How to show last updated date in WordPress?
Just connect to your website via FTP or through your WordPress hosting file manager and find the file in your site's /wp-content/themes/yourthemename/ folder. $u_time = get_the_time( 'U' ); $u_modified_time = get_the_modified_time( 'U' ); // Only display modified date if 24hrs have passed since the post was published.
